Important Note, Read Before Continuing:Due to the size of this battle, there are certain problems that have a statistically significant chance of happening, but due to the potential awesome I will disregard those dangers for now. We don’t have to worry about the battle getting stepped on because it’s LDD; however the file is nearly 17000 pieces big, saving takes a full 45 sec.-1 min. For one, expect relatively large delays between turns. There’s lot’s of lag for moving pieces and I expect there to be lot’s of carnage during the battle. Second, there’s a good chance it will simply be too much for my computer and it will be forced to be baleeted. By signing up you accept all these risks and won’t bitch if any of them happen. Pray to the dice-gods for fortune, and if you’ve reached this sentence, then remember, together we pwn!

Danedal. When the Praetorians found the planet shortly after arriving to our galaxy, they jeered at its utter uselessness-no life, no resources, just a strange gaseous purple atmosphere and a frozen hell below. Nobody would care.

Fortunately, wars raged on elsewhere in the galaxy, and the Praetorians realized no planet could be wasted. So they began a primitive shipyard. It churned out fighters and frigates around the clock.

Soon enough, it evolved through the ages...

Today, the Danedalian shipyards is the main producer of battleships and mega-carriers for this sector of Praetoria. Defended by no less than 13 battleships and 4 mega-carriers, it has recently received defense fleets from Trattoria, USA, MASS, and Zupponn Mining Co.

As ordered by the delegation of Luchardsko in the Third Alliance, they have sent a fleet of ships to strike back at the AN for damaging the RIN’s RT asteroids. The Scythians have also joined to revenge the death of Captain Conor Kole and his crew. But most importantly, the Briktoid Automata has provided the jewel of the fleet, the Grond of the Third Alliance, the Conifer-class super-dreadnought.

FACTIONS

Praetorian ShipyardsThe Praetorians are determined not lose their valuable shipyards to the Third Alliance. Includes the yards and the fleet except for the mega-carriers.

Praetorian Carriers and Fighters: darkpaladin2XThe Praetorian carriers will back up their battleship friends. Each carrier has 6 fighters in its holds.

Trattorians: Ex_BajirSent to the Praetorians before Siri’s coup, these Trattorians are almost as loyal to Praetoria as the Praetorians themselves. They are cautious about shooting the Scythians and thereby worsening the diplomatic situation, however.

USA: StormblessedThe USA. With giant OTCs. ‘Nuff said.

MASS2XThe MASS, while one of the smaller players, can still make a different with their 6 cruisers. Here’s to hoping they are as effective as they are in Winter Has Arrived.

Zupponn Mining Co.: ZupponnThe Zupponn Mining Co. have been paid to provide further defenses to the Praetorian positions.

Scythians: lrdofbriks2XThe Scythian Empire is one of the biggest factions on the board, with 4 Monarch butterfl... I mean battleships and 2 Emperors.

Briktoid Automata: WhiteagleConifer-class. Be afraid.

Bavaria: SilverdreamKind of hard to get an Overwatch, but Bavarian ships are the blue ones surrounding the Conifer.

RINI must say, the RIN looks very impressive all lined up like that. I would recommend designing bigger ships though, they’re all very small compared to the behemoths shooting at each other in this battle.

Avalonians: Semaj Nagirrac2XThe Avalonians are one of the two smallest factions on the board. Will they be able to pwn the Praetorians like they do in Winter Has Arrived?

Akkadians: tymon555The Akkadians are a bit reluctant to get involved in the whole AN-TA war, but have regardless sent a token fleet to help the war effort.

Secret Faction A: Falk

Let the games...

There was a saying in the Art of War about letting everyone kill each other first or something like that...I could imagine the Conifers/Emperors and the Praetorian/Trattorian battleships pounding each other while your tiny frigates are ignored and ultimately survive.

The Briktoid Automata's Contingent Commanding Program, IR2C00l, stared dispassionately at the large tactical display through the optics of an Astromek shell and metaphorically sighed.

It had been sent to assist their Third Alliance clients in strike on an enemy shipyard with only its prized ship-shell, the Confier-class BAS-N00bcrush3r, in Annihilation Escort configuration and four Quadfighters.Normally such equipment would adequate for long-ranged harrassment and ambush tactics, but orders had them flying right in the middle of the Organics fleet...

...It wouldn't be suprising if every gun the enemy had opened up on the N00bcrush3r out of sheer terror as soon as it was sighted.

Of course, what should one expect when they Tea-bag a superior in a game of Counter Duty 1954?

Levers are automatically small weapons. For the Conifer in particular, all the telescope guns are large lasers, Guns with 2x2 black cone bases are massive, the one in the center is a super weapon, and everything else is medium.
